Hi.

Can one of you please provide examples of edits that you want to prevent? What
edits would you like to stop that you believe adding a CAPTCHA will prevent?
Please provide as many examples as you would like. The more examples you can
provide, the better feedback you can get, I think. There are a number of
developers actively watching this bug report. :-)

I think we should focus on the types of edits you want to prevent (the problem)
rather than focusing on adding a CAPTCHA (a proposed solution).

And for what it's worth, a wiki can easily disable or deter edits by anonymous
users by using [[w:pt:MediaWiki:Titleblacklist]] or
[[w:pt:Special:AbuseFilter]]. Though you can't use the AbuseFilter to force a
CAPTCHA (yet: bug 18110).
